GETTING STARTED

Before Using your Power Board

Your Power Board may come charged out of the box. Bladez still recommends charging

the unit for 6-8 hours prior to first use!

Charging Your Power Board

WARNING!

Prevent fire. Never modify the electrical system. Alterations could cause a fire

resulting in serious injury and could also ruin the electrical system.

Use of the wrong type of battery or charger could cause a fire or explosion

resulting in serious injury.

The batteries must be handled by adults only. The batteries are heavy and

contain sulphuric acid. Dropping the battery could result in serious injury.

The charger is not a toy. Never allow children to charge batteries. Battery

charging must be done by adults only. The electricity involved in charging the

batteries could injure a child.

Use the charger in dry locations only.

If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the Power

Board. Always remove a dead battery from the unit.

Examine the charger and it connections for excessive wear or damage each

time you change the batteries. If damage or excessive wear is detected, do not

use the charger until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.

Your battery will completely re-charge in 6-8 hours. Never leave the charger

plugged in for more than 24 hours.

Page 9

Charging Instructions

1. Carefully remove the Power Board from the box.

2. Make sure the unit is turned OFF, (If equipped with

on/off switch).

3. Open the charging plug by rotating the safety cover

counter clockwise (Fig. 1).

4. Locate the AC CHARGER and plug it into wall. Insert

the charger (the end with the 3 prongs inside of it)

into the charging plug. A red light will come on the

Charger (Fig. 2). Your Power Board is now charging.

5. When the charge is complete, the light on the

Charger will turn GREEN, your Bladez Power Board

is now fully charged!

Note: If the light turns green right away, this is because the

unit was charged at the factory. Please continue charging for

6-8 hours prior to initial use.

6. Remove the charger from the charger plug and close

the safety cap.

IMPORTANT

Tips For Extending Battery Life

1. You MUST charge completely prior to initial use. Charge completely before

storage, and approximately every 30 days if not in use.

2. Charge immediately after every use.

3. DO NOT allow your unit to discharge completely if possible. Recharging when

batteries are still at partial capacity helps to extend battery life.

4. For safety purposes, DO NOT charge for over 24 hours.

5. Turn the unit OFF when not in use.

Folding Handle Set-Up Instructions

To unfold the Power Board, begin by pressing down on the FOLDING HANDLE with

one hand (Fig. 3), while gently pulling up on the handlebars with the other (Fig. 4).

Fully extend the handlebars to their upright position until you feel

the mechanism lock into place (Fig. 5).

When you first take the Power Board out of the box, the BRAKE

LEVER and ACCELERATOR LEVER will be in the down

position for shipping. Using the provided Allen Wrench, loosen

the tension bolt, and adjust the levers to a comfortable position

(Fig. 6). Then tighten the bolt.

* BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISCONNECT THE CABLES!

You are now ready to ride your Power Board!

Installing the (Optional) Seat:

Your Power Board may have come with an optional Seat Attachment.

Insert the Base Post firmly into the Base Bracket. Make sure the tube

guides slide into the base grooves.

Slide the Seat Pin through Base Bracket to secure the Base Post (Fig. 7).

Slide the Seat Clamp over the Base Post.

Slide the Seat Post into the Base Post and align into the position (Fig. 8).

Adjust to desired height.

Tighten and close the Seat Clamp.

Page 11

Riding

Make sure that all of the bolts and screws are tightened.

Flip the switch on the Power Panel (if equipped – see page 7 for details), into ON position. A red

light will come on indicating the unit is turned on.

NOTE: If the unit is the ON position for over 10 minutes without moving, Smart Power will shut

itself OFF. To reset, turn the unit OFF, wait a few seconds and then switch it back ON again.

Put one foot on the deck of the Power Board. While pushing off with the other foot, gently

squeeze the ACCELERATOR LEVER, on the right side of the handlebars. The Power Board will

begin to move on its own power.

Control your speed by pressing and releasing the accelerator lever. You do not need to

constantly hold down the accelerator, but can rather use small bursts of power to control speed

and maximize battery life.

To stop, release the accelerator handle and depress the BRAKE LEVER (on the left side of the

handlebars). Depressing the brake will disengage power to the motor.

When the unit feels like it is losing power, or not accelerating to full speed you are ready to

RECHARGE.

*NOTE: At this time, there is still charge in the battery but it is not advisable to fully discharge

the batteries.

FOLDING AND STORAGE

When you are done riding the Power Board you can fold it down for compact storage, carrying

and transportation. Make sure the POWER SWITCH is in the OFF position.

Always charge your Power Board fully prior to storage!

To fold down the Power Board, use one hand to push down on the FOLDING HANDLE, while

using the other to gently push down on the handlebars. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIT YOUR

HEAD WITH THE HANDLEBAR. Push down until you feel the mechanism lock into place.

You can now carry the Power Board by the handlebar tube.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

To adjust and maintain the Bladez Power Board you will need the following tools:

Allen Keys: 3/4/5/6mm.

Wrenches: 10/13/16 mm Open and ring

combination.

Large Adjustable Crescent Wrench

Philips Head Screwdriver

Oil, Grease or Lubricant (such as WD-40)

Page 12

BRAKING SYSTEM

The Power Board uses a front wheel disc/calliper system activated by a hand lever (on the left

side of the handlebar). The brake is activated by squeezing the BRAKE LEVER with your left

hand. The Power Board is equipped with a controller that temporarily disengages the power to

the motor when the BRAKE LEVER is depressed.

Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system. Braking

distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.

Adjusting the Brakes

The Brakes on the Power Board should come fully adjusted from the factory. However, it may

be necessary to adjust the brake from time to time.

To adjust the brakes:

1. Loosen the tension screw on the Brake Lever by rotating it

counter-clockwise until the wheel spins freely.

For further adjustment:

2. With one hand, depress the brake calliper using your

thumb and forefinger. (Fig. 9)

3. With the other hand, adjust the tension screw on the brake

line.

a. Turn the tension screw clockwise to loosen the

brake.

b. Turn the tension screw counter-clockwise to tighten the brake.

Squeaky Brakes

The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the function

or performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should go away.

TIRES AND WHEELS

The Bladez Power Board uses an identical rim and tires assembly on the front and rear wheels,

which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel halves (split rim)

bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire.

The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the sprockets, while the front

wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.

Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care

Page 13

Tire Pressure

The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 60 P.S.I.. It is also recommended to use a tube

additive like Slime

purchasable from any motorcycle shop, to avoid inconvenient punctures.

Caution: Completely deflate tire prior to disassembly of wheel as the split rim is under

considerable pressure while tire is inflated.

ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT

The head unit will should come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on rough terrain and

general use may cause the head unit to become loose over time. It may be necessary to adjust

the head unit from time to time.

To adjust the head unit:

1. Rotate the handle bar as far right as it will go to expose

the HEAD UNIT (Fig. 10).

2. The head unit bearings are held in place by two 40mm

nuts on the underside. These nuts are separated by a

spacer. The top nut provides the adjustment, while the

lower nut is a jamb-nut intended to hold the adjustment

nut in place.

3. Loosen the lower nut 3-4 turns.

4. Tighten the top adjuster nut to the desired amount, and

the re-tighten the lower jamb-nut.

DO NOT over tighten as it will make it difficult to steer and may damage the bearings.

Page 14

CHAIN CARE

Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board. Always

keep the chain lubricated and tightened to proper tension.

Lubrication

Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain wax). If the

chains are allowed to run dry for a prolonged period they will fail, and the life of the chain is

severely shortened.

Chain Adjustment

The chain on the Power Board should be adjusted from time to time. The chain should be

tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. If you feel your chain skipping or make a

popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.

For regular adjustments

1. Using a 16mm wrench, loosen the axle bolts on each

side of the rear wheel (Fig. 11).

2. While the axle bolts are loose, using a 10mm wrench

loosen the tension bolts behind the rear wheel of the

Power Board and move the rear wheel backwards to

remove the slack for the chain (fig. 12).

3. Once this is achieved the wheel nuts must then be

relocked into position and wheel alignment must be

checked (while turning the wheel, visually check that

the clearance between the wheel and the frame parts

have clearance).

*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry or loose

can result in sprocket teeth being severely

damaged.
